Factoring Expressions

Factoring Expressions An algebraically expression is a collection of symbols, it may consist one or more terms, which are separated from each other by signs + and - . Thus 7a + 5b 3c x + 2y is an expression consisting of five terms. Expressions are either simple or compound. A simple expression consists of one term, as 5a. A compound expression consists of two or more terms. Thus an expression of two terms, as 3a 5b is called a binomial expression; one of three terms, as 2a 3b + c, a trinomial expression; one of more than three terms a multinomial. The solution of algebraic expression when each of the terms composes an expression is divisible by a common factor is given below. Example1. Let us to solve the terms of the expression 3a2 6ab. Solution: The terms of the expression 3a2 6ab have a common factor 3a, 3 a2 6ab = 3 a (a 2 b) Example 2. The terms 5 a2 b x3 15ab x2 20 b3 x2 has a common factor 5 b x2 . 5 a2 b x3 15ab x2 20 b3 x2 = 5 b x2 (a2 x 3a 4 b2 ) Example 3. Resolve into factors x3 - x2y + xy2 x3 - x2y + xy2 = x (x2 - xy + y2 ) Example 4. Resolve into factors 2 x2y3 6 x2y2 + 2 xy3 2 x2y3 6 x2y2 + 2 xy3 = 2 xy (xy2 3 xy + y2) =2 xy2 (xy 3 x + y)

What are the High School Science Courses

What are the High School Science Courses While most people are familiar with chemistry and biology, there happen to be a great number of science courses available to high school students. Some are required and others are optional, but each offers a leg up to students eyeing colleges or hoping to seek a career in the sciences. As STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) programs gain momentum, there are more science classes available than ever before. [RELATED: STEM Resources for Students] So, what options are available to students with an interest or background in science? While this list may not be exhaustive, it covers the vast majority offered in public high school systems (students are typically required to take between two and three years of science curriculum). Biology Biology is typically the first science class that high school students take. It focuses less on math, allowing students to enroll in a variety of math classes before being required to apply those skills in science classes. In biology, students will cover cells, organisms (and how they relate to the environment around them), ecology, genetics, and human growth and development. Often, students who prefer non-science subjects tend to enjoy biology, as it eases them into harder sciences while providing a good educational foundation. Chemistry Chemistry is typically taken next and involves slightly more math than a biology class. Students in chemistry classes will study reaction rates, chemical energy, the concept of moles, and acids and bases. Students may either love or hate chemistry, though with proper preparation and a good teacher, it can be fun! To be successful in chemistry class, students should pay careful attention and use practice problemsthe math required can get easier if you consistently work on it! Physical/Earth Science Physical/Earth Science typically covers organic chemistry, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, rock types, and atmospheric science. While some schools call this course either Physical Science or Earth Science, the coursework is similar. Students may take this course in their junior year of high school; sometimes, they may have the choice between it and physics. Physical/Earth Science may be a better choice for you if youre less confident in science or have a harder time with math. Physics Students may choose to take physics because it can look stronger on college applications, as it typically presents a higher level of difficulty. In a junior year physics class, expect to cover concepts relating to matter, space and time, motion and forces, optics and light, magnetism and electricity, and atomic physics. Be prepared for a challenge. Elective Science Coursework... Often, students who take science the first three years of high school are not required to take a science course during their senior year. However, those who wish to continue studying science or math (or who otherwise find science interesting) may choose to enroll in additional science courses. The following elective courses can build upon skills learned in earlier science courses. [RELATED: 4 Benefits of STEM Studies] Environmental Science In this class, students should expect to cover topics related to the application of environmental analysis. Topics will include energy, atmosphere, land, water, and ecological structures. Students will also learn about data collection and reaching conclusions based on research and experimentation. Forensic Science In a forensic science class, a student should expect a class that is more focused on scientific process. While theres bound to be plenty of exciting (fictional) crime scene analysis, the class is also interested in law and courtroom procedure, data collection, hypothesis formation and testing, and lab work. Astronomy Not to be confused with astrology, astronomy focuses not on the horoscopes in the Sunday paper but the science behind the stars. Students will study black holes, history and development of the solar system, laws of gravity and motion, and methods of research. As you can see from the variety of classes listed, there are many avenues of science from which students can learn! If you feel this is one of your weaker subjects, consider seeking science tutoring or meeting with your teachers to see what kind of assistance they can recommend.

College Biology Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace

College Biology Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace With a few exceptions every organism is considered to be either a plant or an animal. The study of plants is called botany and the study of animals is called zoology. In addition to these two divisions, another branch of biology which has come into prominence in recent years is microbiology. It is the study of such plants and animals which are so small that can be seen only with the help of a microscope. Microbiology deals chiefly with the organisms which cause diseases. The distinction between these three subjects is based on the nature of organisms. Within two broad subdivisions (Botany and Zoology), there are still smaller fields devoted to the study of a particular group of plants and animals. Each of this field forms a distinct branch of Biology and is given a specific name. Morphology: Branch of Biology which deals with the configuration and the structural form of any organisms. It is subdivided into two-anatomy and histology. Cytology: It is the study of cells. Embryology: It is the study of sequences of growth and development of plants and animals and deals with the formation and development of the embryo. Ecology: It deals with the study of organisms in relation to living and nonliving surroundings. Genetics: The branch which deals with heredity and variation Evolution: It deals with the transformation. Taxonomy: It is the branch dealing with the naming and classification of living organisms Physiology: It deals with the functional aspects of various parts of the organisms

Build Your French Vocabulary How to Tell Time in French

Build Your French Vocabulary How to Tell Time in French Suzy S. For our last French vocabulary lesson, tutor Carol Beth L. taught us numbers, counting, and basic math. Now, its time to put that knowledge to work with this lesson on telling time in French So, are you confident with your numbers in French yet? Telling time is a wonderful way to practice â€" and is very helpful in everyday life! Lets start with a few basic words and phrases: Heure hour Lheure the time Quelle heure est-il? What time is it? (Say: Kel Ur [like the city] ay-teel) Il est ______ heures. It is ___ oclock. Midi noon (12pm) Minuit [say: mee noo ee] midnight (12am) In the question “Quelle heure est-il,” for the purposes of pronunciation, it is helpful to be aware of the concept of the liaison in French. When one word begins with a vowel sound, but the preceding word ends with a silent consonant, that consonant is pronounced almost as if it were the first letter of the next word. This is why the “t” in “est” is pronounced the way it is â€" but the “s,” which is also normally silent, is not. Lets look at a few examples: Susie: Quelle heure est-il? What time is it? Alain: Il est 9 (neuf) heures. It is 9 oclock. Alain: Quelle heure est-il? What time is it? Susie: Il est midi. Allons manger! It is noon. Lets go eat! In France, it is important to realize that the people you are speaking to will measure time on the 24-hour clock, often referred to as military time in the United States. So for any hour in the afternoon or evening, you will need to add 12 to the number we usually use for the hour in the United States: 13:00 = 1pm 14:00 = 2pm 15:00 = 3pm 16:00 = 4pm 17:00 = 5pm 18:00 = 6pm 19:00 = 7pm 20:00 = 8pm 21:00 = 9pm 22:00 = 10pm 23:00 = 11pm Here are a few examples of how this would be used in context: Il est 13 (treize) heures. (It is 1:00 in the afternoon. Literally: It is 13 oclock.) Il est 18 (dix-huit) heures. (It is 6:00 in the evening. Literally: It is 18 oclock.) So what about the times in between? Here, a little more vocabulary will help us out: ______ heures et quart a quarter past ______ ______ heures et demie half past ______ ______ heures moins le quart a quarter to ______ Again, lets see this in context: 1) Il est minuit moins le quart. (Its a quarter to midnight. Or equivalently: Its 11:45pm.) 2) Il est 15 (quinze) heures et demie. (Its a quarter past three in the afternoon. Or equivalently: Its 3:15pm.) 3) Il est 7 (sept) heures et quart. (Its a quarter past seven in the morning. Or equivalently: Its 7:15am.) Note that in the French version, “in the morning” or “in the afternoon” (indicated in the English translation) is implied because they use the 24-hour clock. These three vocabulary terms “et quart,” “et demie,” and “moins le quart” often require more practice for American students than the style that comes next, but they are used relatively often. You may wish to focus on practicing telling time using this format until it feels natural to you before moving on. Try looking at a clock at random times throughout the day and telling the time according to the nearest quarter-hour. Or if you have a “will return at” sign with a moveable clock on it, have a friend show you random times of their choosing, and give them the time (again, to the nearest quarter-hour) in French. You or a friend can also draw clocks with desirable times on them. So what if you need to be more precise than telling time to the quarter-hour? In English, we might say “Its ten-oh-three,” or “Its eleven fifty-seven.” In French, you can do almost the same thing: Il est dix heures trois. (Its 10:03 am.) Il est onze heures cinquante-sept. (Its 11:57 am.) Il est dix-sept heures vingt-neuf. (Its 5:29 pm.) Il est midi quarante-deux. (Its 12:42 pm.) In these and similar cases, be sure to include the word “heures” in your sentence between the hour and the minutes. We do not include it in English, but it is important in French. Now, you have several ways to tell time in French. If you recently learned to count in French, it is also an excellent way to practice your numbers. Practice your French vocabulary consistently and telling time â€" and numbers â€" will become second nature. For more help learning to speak French, why not try studying with a private tutor?

5 tips for setting up an online business - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 5 tips for setting up an online business - Introvert Whisperer 5 tips for setting up an online business Whether you’ve been daydreaming about starting a small business for years, or you’ve had a sudden spark of inspiration, there are many factors to consider before going out on your own. Everything from budget, contacts, staff, and office space impacts those crucial early months as a fledgling business. Online businesses, in particular, come with a host of added elements you’ll need to tackle to succeed, including digital marketing, social media, search engine optimization, and changing consumer demands and expectations. As the Director of Ecommerce behind an online bathroom brand that’s grown from just family to over 11 employees, there’s certainly been difficulties and challenges to overcome along the way. 1. Invest in automation technology early Investing in technology at the earliest possible stage is likely to save time and valuable budget in the long run. Tech has proved vital in the growth of our business, with tools like Brightpearl â€" a CRM system which helps manage customer information and order data â€" helping us better look after our customers and keep on top of orders. We also use a digital stock system called WITS Warehouse Solutions which is integrated with Brightpearl. This allows order details to be sent to our warehouse, giving us complete visibility of what’s in stock at all times. If you’re a retailer, automating as many processes as possible will save you time that can be used strategizing about the future of the business, rather than getting bogged down in the day-to-day running of it. 2. Be agile at all times As the business grew, we established an online presence, initially using eBay, then our own e-commerce website. The business moved away from installation shortly after, focusing purely on online sales, supported by a list of recommended installers. Other small businesses may make the same progression â€" we identified the most profitable part of our offering and made that our focus. The biggest success was the changeover from using eBay to our website, which cut out the fees we were spending to process orders. This allowed us to personalize our service further and grow the business into the size it is today. Don’t underestimate how much it costs to stay up-to-date with online trends, either. The Sanctuary Bathrooms website has been the biggest investment over the development of the business, with steady updates required to keep the design modern and to stay competitive in terms of service, functionality, and reacting to changes in Google to retain and grow our search engine rankings. 3. Pick the right times to grow Growing organically and at the right speed is vital to keep your new business on the right track. At the start, our business only employed family members. Since those early days, we’ve grown enough to employ 11 members of staff, as well as moving from purely serving local customers to making international sales across Europe. Sometimes growth is unexpected, too. When a competitor announced that they were going out of business, we acted quickly to purchase the business and website from them, extending our product range and using our experience to turn the fortunes of the brand around. 4. Look after your customers It seems obvious, but making sure the customer is at the heart of everything you do will help a new business grow more quickly. Offering exceptional purchasing experiences is vital, as people will share good experiences in real life and on social media â€" and share bad experiences even more freely. We like to keep in touch with our customers via email and live chat to offer help with the installation of our products, or advice before they invest in a new bathroom set. We also leverage this channel of communication to aid sales, using HappyFox to update customers about new offers and promotions. 5. Invest to keep your best staff One of the hardest challenges as a new business is finding good staff. A team that will support each other is vital, as is finding candidates with the right attitude that will enhance the company ethos. Once you’ve built a small but professional team, it pays to take staff engagement seriously. Invest in team bonding experiences such as staff days out, activities, and weekly treats in the office. This will help bolster morale and make your best employees more likely to stick around. Author Bio: James Roberts is Director of Ecommerce at bathroom and interior retailer Sanctuary Bathrooms, based in the UK. He offers advice and guidance to all small businesses who are looking to establish themselves and grow into a successful brand online.

Patience, Consistency, Creativity Tips For Raising Bilingual Children

Patience, Consistency, Creativity Tips For Raising Bilingual Children The experience of raising bilingual children can be as challenging as it is rewarding. However, in today’s multicultural world, more and more parents are adopting this approach.If you are raising bilingual children, or thinking about it, here are some tips on how to implement bilingualism in your home:1. Be Consistent.  It is important that you develop a plan as regards who speaks each language to the child and that you stick to it as much as possible. For example, if you decide that the One Parent, One Language (OPOL) technique is best for your family (that you speak one language to the child and your partner the other language), then do so continually. Consistency will ensure that the child has equal exposure to both languages.2. Find other bilingual families. If you can meet regularly with other families who are raising bilingual children you will find a valuable support network. You will be able to ask advice, swap experiences and maybe even trade books and other resources.3. Introduce your child to the cultures of both languages. It is important that children learn more than just the grammar and vocabulary of the languages they speak. If you take the time to introduce your child to the foods, music, traditions etc surrounding both languages, with books, art and music, for example, you will find they will be more eager to learn them.4. Start early. Research shows that it is best to start as early as possible in introducing your child to both languages. This gets them into the habit from the beginning in speaking both languages. Babies’ brains are like sponges and they will be absorbing everything you say even before they are able to speak.5. Have patience. Your child might learn one language faster than another or might appear to be more interested in one language than another. This is perfectly natural. As long as your child has exposure to a second language approximately 30% of the time, he/she should reach fluency over time.Here is a video on the be nefits of raising bilingual children:Did you find this article interesting?
